I'm new to the TFA and apologies if I'm not using the forum in the correct way, but does anybody out there know where I may be able to procure a replacement tip section for a 1964/5 Floatrover - needs to be in excellent condition, preferably with original whippings.

Hi if you can rebuild your own then there are rod builders who will build you a new tip around £80.00 and you will have to finish it or they would do that for an extra price but there again you can buy a whole rod from Ebay for that. try Norman Agutters

Thanks for the response Lovatt - apologies for delay in response.
I think I'll give EBay a good look before I consider the rebuilder route

Excuse me Lovatt, one more question .... Are the metal ferrules on these rods of a standard size? I have found a Floatrover with a tip in reasonable condition, that I could re-finish, but I am wondering if the tip ferrule will fit the female ferrule on my own second section?
Thank you

Thank you
Ferrules come in pairs, one is made to fit the other so you will need to use the ferrule off your old tip
Good luck with your project.
